AB - Hotspots are top sites in terms of species diversity as the most threatened and mostdiverse sites which have been used to select priority areas for reserves. The purpose of this paper isto identify biodiversity hotspots through analyzing nationwide spatial patterns of species richnessand rarity of Korean mammals. Four endangered mammals and eleven common mammals wereselected as target species. Environmental variables as model input data were consisted oftopography, distance, and vegetation structure etc. and Maxent was used to develop speciesdistribution models for target species. Species richness and rarity were used as index of biodiversity.
The results of this study were as follows. Firstly, hotspots of species richness for endangeredmammals were in high elevation and steep mountain areas. However, species richness for whole mammals were high in low elevation of mountains. Secondly, distribution pattern of species rarityfor endangered mammals were similar as richness. However, hotspots of species rarity for wholemammals were a little different from species richness. Species rarity was high in both low and highelevation of mountain areas. This study will provide the useful information for a biodiversityassessment, a habitat conservation, a national ecological network plan, and the management ofprotected areas.
